Hi there. I just had a quick question about some of the processes my computer has been running. For example, I have two csrss.exe files, and something like 12 svchost.exe files running. Is this normal or should I be worried?

That's normal.

svchost

Here's a good reference link to find out what a process is and decide whether or not a process is good or bad.
